Plans to redevelop Blue Heron Hills Golf Course into housing have ignited controversy in Gananda, according to the Times of Wayne County. Residents and members say they were blindsided after previously being told development wasn’t in the works.
Jason Calder, the club’s owner, confirmed the course will shift to nine holes next year, with potential home lots replacing the front nine. Though no formal plans have been filed, emails to members acknowledged the upcoming change, triggering community uproar.
Locals, including longtime members, say they feel betrayed. A petition has drawn over 1,000 signatures, and town meetings have seen record turnout as residents vow to fight the proposal and protect what they view as a cherished landmark.
